Lectionary Reflections — Year C

If a reading does not have a hyperlink, there is no reflection for that reading. Over time, I hope to have reflections for almost all of the readings. Remember, the new ones come out on Wednesdays throughout the year. The link on the date is to the appropriate page at the Vanderbilt library lectionary for that date.

* During Eastertide a reading from Acts is often substituted for the lesson from the Hebrew Bible. On the Day of Pentecost, if the Old Testament passage from Genesis is chosen for the first reading, the passage from Acts is used as the second reading.

* “First” OT readings follow major stories/themes, read mostly continuously, beginning in Year A with Genesis and ending in Year C with the later prophets.* “Alternate First” OT readings follow the historical tradition of thematically pairing the OT reading with the Gospel reading.** In a very few instances in the Lectionary, no Psalm reading is offered for reasons relating to the thematic nature of the Day.
